    I don't imagine the compiler not objecting to the prior code 'cause void is not a type that can be true or false.  G_d I hate these stupid code puzzles, they never seem to illuminate much!  You could put a static variable in the fn, something like Virgin = 0.  When the function executes the last line is Virgin =1.  Virgin can be used as an index for a string table.
